This is due to a stupid set of coding on Apogee's part. The damage line
for pipebombs is something like:

hitradius 2048 WEAKEST WEAK MEDIUMSTRENGTH TOUGH

The weakest-tough are definitions from defs.con, but they are
descriptive. Anyway, the point is that the damage starts from the actual
bomb and goes OUTWARDS. So standing on the bomb gives you WEAKEST
damage, 512 away gives you WEAK damage, 1024 away you get MEDIUMSTRENGTH
damage and 1536-2048 away gives you TOUGH damage! Weird. Just reverse
the order, for how it _should_ be.

Your local coding wizz
